Fresh, local food is coming in
Although it has been “unseasonably cool” there’s asparagus at King’s and Bolt’s, and over at Providence Farm Andrea and Ryan Romeyn are getting ready for the first CSA pickups of the year. Andrea writes: Even with our cool spring, the gardens look wonderful . . . . We are starting . . . the week of June […]
Nectarine pink
May 16, 2009
Last year John King told me that the nectarine blossoms were his favorite. They were, he said, a lovely shade of pink. I didn’t get over there to look at them until they had faded, but I made up for it later by eating lots of nectarines. Anyway, this year I was determined to show you those […]

Local products, local jobs
March 24, 2009
Someone calculated that if every household in the state spent just $10 of its weekly food budget on items grown or processed in Michigan, it would keep $37 million circulating in the state’s economy, and would help keep jobs here, too. Makes sense to me, and made sense to Russ and Donna Abbott. Their Eastport […]
